Ahoy, Matey! Hello Sailor Collection at Cloth Ears

Maybe I should see someone about my obsession, but by now my fetish for all things nautical and emblazoned with anchors is well-documented. So, predictably, I was in raptures of delight when the latest email missive from Cloth Ears landed in my inbox, announcing their Hello Sailor collection. Appliquéd, embroidered and printed with swallows, anchors and stars, stripes and polka dots aplenty, this range ticks all the right boxes for me. And it's affordable too. The compact mirror only costs a bank-balance friendly £6.99.

This wash bag is lined in ivory fabric with blue polka-dots, and the reverse features the same anchor and stars pattern design used on the large anchor on the front. It's chunky enough to fit in all your make-up, toiletries and other bits and bobs, and will set you back £19.99.

Last but not least, my personal favourite; a heart-shaped coin purse with an appliquéd floral and polka-dot swallow on one side, complete with button eye, and red with white polka-dots on the other. It's £13.99, but I fear I'll have no pennies left to put in it unless I'm forcibly restrained from snapping up the whole range.
